The differences

- Both carry an MRP mismatch, so neither discount percentage is calculated from a figure we can verify
Which one to buy
There is effectively nothing between these two on price: Nova NHS840 and Vega VHSH42 both land within ₹1 of each other, so the decision comes down to what the products are rather than what they cost. A discount badge showing one as the better deal is describing its own MRP, not your outlay.
The ratings pull against the price here. Vega VHSH42 is the more expensive of the two yet scores 4.1★ to 3.9★, so the premium is buying something buyers evidently notice. Whether it is worth ₹0 depends on how much that difference matters to you.
Both products carry an MRP mismatch: the listings we track show different maximum retail prices for each of them. Since MRP is printed on the pack, at least one displayed figure per product does not match it, so the discount on either listing is calculated from a number we cannot verify. Compare the rupee prices above and disregard both percentages.
The ₹599 figure is on Amazon, and is the lowest we observed across every listing we track for it. Prices on both products move often enough that it is worth opening each listing before deciding.
